Introduction[edit | edit source]
Attachments[edit | edit source]
Origin[edit | edit source]
The prominence of the lateral femoral epicondyle, slightly anterior to the origin of the lateral collateral ligament. Connecting fibers between the two structures have been observed.
Orientation[edit | edit source]
Oblique course to the anterolateral aspect of the proximal tibia, with firm attachments to the lateral meniscus, thus enveloping the inferior lateral geniculate artery and vein.
Insertion[edit | edit source]
On the anterolateral tibia, grossly located midway between Gerdy's tubercle and the tip of the fibular head. Definitely separate from the iliotibial band (ITB)
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
Vascular Supply[edit | edit source]
Composition[edit | edit source]
Function[edit | edit source]
Given its structure and anatomic location, the ALL is hypothesized to control internal tibial rotation and thus to affect the pivot shift phenomenon.
